Catching up with Allison!

Whew....where do I even begin!! I know most of you have seen the video of Allison crawling, since then she has increased her speed by like 10mph. We cannot turn our heads for even one second. She is pulling herself up on to tables, chairs, couches, her crib…whatever she can find! She is having so much fun being on the run.

It was the cutest thing ever, the other night we were playing tickle bug and was saying to her “ I am going to get you”, she opened her eyes really wide, busted up laughing and took off crawling. She knew exactly what game we were playing, she would look back to see where I was trailing and she just kept laughing and trying to get away!! Oh my gosh, it makes me laugh out loud just telling the story. She is just so darn cute and funny!

Bug keeps her teacher at school laughing all day, she is the entertainer at school and is making new friends all the time! If Allison doesn’t give her teachers “the finger” they ask me is she is feeling okay. I guess the finger is a statement of her mood…lol! You know you are loved when she gives you the finger.

Bug had her first “incident report” at school, she was playing at the balance bar, looking at her cute face in the mirror and apparently feeling like a dare devil and let go of the bar and bonked her forehead on the mirror. She had a little bruise but she was back up and playing in no time.

OH… Another huge milestone… Allison is now waving “bye-bye”!! We were leaving school yesterday and waved to Ms. Pam, it melted my heart and Ms. Pam’s. Allison completely amazes us every day, she is just an absolute joy!

Every day Allison is talking more, and I am pretty sure she called me mama and not just babbling the words. She was crawling over to me, pulling herself up on my legs and said “mama”… it brought tears to my eyes. Such a proud mama moment!!

Allison is starting to adjust to her new house, the first week was a bit rough. Not only a new environment but she was cutting her 3rd and 4th tooth. Yep, she now has 4 teeth, two bottom and two top. So the last two weeks mommy and daddy have been very tired and have spent too much money on coffee..haha! Daddy’s back is a little stiff from sleeping on the couch with Allison. All worth it though, soon she will be sleeping all by herself and we will want those nights back ;) Even when you are exhausted, and maybe at your wits end, nothing is better than starring at the sweet face of your baby sleeping on your chest. Ahhh… I could go on and on but I will save it for another time..LOL!

So, Halloween is creeping upon us…. Watch for pictures of lady in her first Halloween costume, she is going to be so cute! I hope she allows me to put the costume on her without too much of a fight, she is getting very vocal when it comes time to dress her, if she had it her way, she would be in her birthday suit all day …hehe!

Allison is having such a great time in music class, now that she is mobile, she is crawling around visiting the music teacher and other music friends. She really enjoys the songs, we listen to them every day on our way home from school and while playing at home. Few more years and she will be playing the piano with Grandma Cindy.

Bug is such a foodie, just like her mommy and daddy! She loves snack time at school and whenever her friends are eating and she is not, she thinks they are eating her food! LOL She is now eating solid foods three times a day, and we have just added in snack times. Yum! This week she had eggplant for the first time and absolutely loved it! I can’t wait until she can help us cook, maybe I will get her a little chef hat, how cute would that be!?!

Oh and check out the pictures of her and CK (Cousin Kayden) too adorable for words! We all had a great time playing together while his mommy and daddy went on a date.

I know there is so much more but mommy has to go make babyfood for her little ladybug! Hope you are all having a wonderful week and Happy Halloween!!

Goodnight and sleep tight!
